Mike Walker 0 Posted June 10, 2007 There was mention of being able to bleed the brakes from the hose (my bleed nipple has sheared off in the caliper) Iwas able to do it from the top end of the hose but when you try to remove the bottom end of the hose at the caliper you can't turn it too far as the hose just starts to kink. Just wondering how you go about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inferno 1 Posted June 10, 2007 crack the flexi off before unbolting the caliper mind or you will struggle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie205 1 Posted June 12, 2007 No need to unbolt calliper realy, just loosen flexi while a mate has pressure on pedal, when pedal hits floor tighten pipe. Follow this procedure until system is bled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Walker 0 Posted June 14, 2007 No need to unbolt calliper realy, just loosen flexi while a mate has pressure on pedal, when pedal hits floor tighten pipe. Follow this procedure until system is bled I'm using a Gunson Easy bleed system that pressurises the system using a tyre, seems a lot better than the two man method actually but I still wasn't getting anything out from just loosening the flexi so ended up taking the caliper off and fully unscrewing flexi. Got fluid out then but it's still not quite right so i'm going to bleed the whole lot again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugrallye 0 Posted June 14, 2007 If your on about rears, they can be a bugger, as the handbrake mech doesnt always adjust up correctly, giving the impression of air in the lines, so just some thing to watch out for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
